Jennings, Waylon - I'm A Ramblin' Man Lyrics






I've been down to Mississippi
Down through New Orlean
Yes I have
I've played in California
There ain't too much I haven't seen
No there ain't
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fool around with a ramblin' man

Left a girl in West Virginia
Up there where that green grass grows
Yes I did
Got a girl in Cincinatti
Waitin' where the Ohio River flows
Oh, girl
I'm a ramblin' man
Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man

You better move away
Your standing to close to the flame
Once I mess with the ol' mind
Your little ol' heart won't be the same
But I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around within your ramblin' man
You better not

Well, up in Chicago
I was known as quite a boy
Yes I was
Down in Alabama
They call me the man of joy
Still do
Well, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man

You better move away
Your standing to close to the flame
Once I mess with the ol' mind
Your little ol' heart won't be the same
Oh, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin man...

    I openly wept when Johnny & Waylon passed. Understand. In my family's house, they weren't just "staples", they were the home's soundtrack. They were as much of the fabric as Sunday dinner, and Daddy going to wprk every morning. God bless these two Legends, and if I get there, can't wait to sit by the stage forever and watch & listen with God and the rest of their fans .....

    Waylon struck me with an old 8track tape when I was 15 I found in my parents laundry room. And then he and Jesse came to Ottawa Canada .I sat in the front row at the Barrymore theater and had a blast. I will never forget that night. 1988.

    I've been down the Mississippi,
    Down through New Orleans,
    Yes, I have.
    I've played in California,
    There ain't too much I haven't seen.
    No, there ain't.
    Well, I'm a ramblin' man,
    Don't fool around with a ramblin' man.
    Left a girl in West Virginia,
    Up there where that green grass grows,
    Yes, I did.
    Another girl in Cincinnati,
    Waitin' where the Ohio River flows,
    Poor girl!
    I'm a ramblin' man,
    Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man.
    You'd better move away,
    You're standin' too close to the flame.
    Once I mess with your mind,
    Your little heart won't beat the same.
    Lord, I'm a ramblin' man,
    Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man.
    Better not!
    Well, up in Chicago,
    I was known as "Quiet Boy, "
    Yes, I was!
    Down in Alabama,
    They call me "The man of joy, "
    Still do!
    Well, I'm a ramblin' man,
    Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man.
    You'd better move away,
    You're standin' too close to the flame.
    Once I mess with your mind,
    Your little heart won't beat the same.
    Lord, I'm a ramblin' man,
    Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man.

  49. M.... B....

    watched waylon live in 79 athens, OH convocation center.

    M.... B....

    I’m literally watching this video in the convocation center right now 😂 I’m in the dorms there.

  50. J.... B....

    I like some of waylons stuff, but for this song you can replace the word rambling with the word idiot and youl'ld be spot on.... This song was real dumb psych predisposition/ programming....waylon could have been so much more.

  51. H.... T....

    Nothing can match this kind of country.

  52. B.... ....

    Cheer's to all the real outlaws out there. And to the men that hunt us. May we all have luck in our endeavors.

  53. P.... b....

    Todays country is pathetic because men have been stripped of their masculinity. Theyre worried about not offending you-know-who.

  54. T.... J....

    Yeeeeeeee haaaaaa love it . Shit days now , it's more like social media man now sucks

  55. M.... M....

    Chicken pickin

  77. K.... J....

    2019 anyone?

  78. M.... P....

    when country music was great

  79. K.... L....

    At least the comments aren't infected with "GTA" or "Trevor Phillips" bullshit, look in the comment section to Waylon's song "Are you sure Hank done it this way?" Completely infested with video game references, kids and their goddamn childish games.

  80. m.... s....

    I miss u Eddie I tried to keep her safe and my neaica

  81. m.... s....

    I wish I listen

  82. K.... W....

    The King !!!!

  83. T.... B....

    My uncle's a song writer for Billy Currington he travels all around the world

  84. P.... V....

    This man, Waylon Jennings, was my inspiration from the time I first picked up a guitar at 12 years old! I went to one of his concerts in Louisiana and loved every second of it!

    I actually met Waylon in a recording studio in Austin Texas and had the honor of backing him as second guitar. Down to earth man that never looked down his nose at anyone!

    I became a professional in the 1970's, following in his footsteps and type of "Out Law" music.

    The day Waylon passed, I openly wept. A HUGE loss to Country music. RIP Brother Waylon.

  85. L.... S....

    Main guitar line reminds me of Southern Nights - that riff was reportedly done by Jerry Reed. Wondering if had anything to do with this version of RM.

  86. L.... P....

    2018 and still listening to Waylon n the older country music singers !

  87. A.... K....

    One word:

    LEGEND

  88. C.... C....

    Makes me want to walk travel the world by foot

  89. d.... ....

    Reply your age if you like listening to this ...I'm 35

  90. M.... M....

    HIs music is light-hearted and fun. Makes me smile and feel positive.

  91. M.... M....

    What a ramblin man.I would consider Waylon a musical genius.

  92. j.... v....

    Saw the great Waylon in 1989 in my hometown of Bakersfield, CA. At the Kern County Fair. Home of Merle and Buck.

  93. S.... V....

    Sings beautifully!

  94. M.... M....

    Just like all genres, the 1970's had the best music.

  95. T.... C....

    I knew country music was in trouble when that poser cowboy with multiple personality disorder became famous
    WTF?
    Country music before it got the pop treatment
    Good stuff

  96. J.... G....

    OUTLAW,DESPORRO,,

  97. A.... M....

    never liking,
    yours, and
    hell; Andy
